Callie Black, 86
Retired LPN
Dies Wednesday

      SEPTEMBER 1 - Callie Oviola Bryant Black, 85, died Wednesday, August 31, 2005 in Farmville.
      She was the daughter of the late Lonnie W. Bryant and Alma S. Bryant. She was born July 21, 1920 in Surry County, North Carolina and married January 5, 1939 in Cumberland. She was preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, Alfred M. Black, six children who died in infancy, two sisters, one brother and one half brother.
      During her childhood, she was unable to complete high school. Then getting married and having a family to take care of it seemed that a high school diploma was out of reach, but later in life at the urging of the late E. Armstrong Smith, she enrolled in a correspondence course and with the help of two school teachers, Miss Mary Martin of Sunnyside and the late Nanny Harrison of Ashby, she completed the course needed to obtain her high school diploma and was honored by Mr. Smith as a graduate with the class of 1966 of Cumberland High School.
      She began her career in the nursing field as a Nurse's Aide in 1967 at the age of 47, then fulfilling her dream of becoming a nurse, she graduated from the Southslde School of Practical Nursing. She retired from hospital work as a Licensed Practical Nurse in 1988 having been employed all of her career at Southslde Community Hospital. First on the East Wing of the original building, then on the second floor of the new hospital building. Her enthusiasm for nursing showed because she always supported each class of the nursing school by attending every capping ceremony and graduation after her own until her health prevented her from doing so.
      She was a member of Fitzgerald Memorial Baptist Church, The American Legion Post 269 Auxiliary and The Cumberland Historical Society and was a Lodge Widow of Cumberland Lodge No. 283 A.F. & A.M. During her membership of the auxiliary she considered it an honor to place American flags on the graves of the veterans who were buried at that time in the cemeteries of Cumberland County each year for Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. She began this tribute in 1967 and continued the ritual each year adding the recent graves of veterans to the number of flags placed until her health prevented her from doing so. At last count, she recorded that she was placing nearly 200 flags each holiday. She had a love for helping others and though her earnings were meager, if there was someone in need, she would give them a check to help with their expenses without thinking twice about it.
      She is survived by two sons, James D. (J.D.) Black of Richmond and Marion W. (Billy) Black of Wingina; a daughter-in-law, Debora S. (Debbie) Black and a special step-granddaughter. Hope Stinson; a grandson, Alfred W. Black; a brother, Garfield Bryant of Cumberland; a sister, Anna Barlow of Milford and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews whom she loved.
      Funeral services will be held Friday at 11 a.m. at the Dunkum Funeral Home, Dillwyn, with interment in Oak Grove Baptist Church Cemetery, Cumberland.
      The family will receive friends this evening (Thursday) from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the funeral home.
